The government CPI statistics show 18.7% price increase between 2010 and 2020.

It's certainly possible that your expenses went up 50% in your presumably super-affluent area of the U.S. It wouldn't surprise me if booming tech companies in certain regions have caused this- but it is not the effect of monetary policy or government minimum wage policy- and my expenses have not gone up much in the last 10 years in my wealthy-but-not super-affluent east coast suburb.

TBH, the charge time hasn't really bothered me. I've got a phone which I can surf the internet on or netflix in the car. Most charging spots are usually near enough to food or bathrooms so I can generally grab something to eat or use restrooms.

If you plan things out well, you generally don't end up waiting too long for fast charging.
Take a cryptokey routing-based network such as https://yggdrasil-network.github.io, cjdns, hyperboria or (I think) TOR.

The crypto-addresses be used as contact information, and users can message each other any way they want: e-mail, netcat, a dedicated application, etc. End-to-end encrypted, no WAN connection needed on mesh networks.

Now, the hard parts are:

- Persistence

- Async communication when one of the hosts is offline.

- Multiple devices pertaining to the same user, with key revocation, etc.

The firsts are why I'm excited for things such as Matrix. I'm not sure about the last (and is there really a problem in the first place?)
I completely agree with you, and we should work to limit these companies to our liking, with legislation.

Your stance is super reasonable. But look around, many people in this conversation are effectively arguing in favor of totally, globally unrestricted speech, which I find extreme and untenable.
No. It just means that he shifts with the wind. Trump pulled the ugly band-aid off the China problem and now even the Dems and some Republicans have realized the mess that economists like Friedman got the US into.

Ask HN: Does your organization enforce a code style/formatting standard?
There's a discussion going around in management about creating a common style guide for our source code. Currently the only style that is enforced is that we use spaces instead of tabs and the length is two spaces per indentation level. Everything else is informal convention and there's a lot of subtle variation across the codebase.

We primarily use C# and SQL. I'm curious if you have to abide by a style guide and if you've encountered any pitfalls when enforcing a standard like that.

You could certainly do it inside a single room with a camera. I'm sure there are plenty of libraries tracking a person's movement within a single area, since its used it VR and AR.
Forward secrecy normally requires a handshake where both endpoints are online. Signal is obsessively forward secret. The Signal Protocol's claim to fame is that it can do offline messaging while still providing forward secrecy. It very much requires a server to store the required cryptographic state to do so.

I guess the restriction could be considered some sort of downside that comes with protocol complexity.

Gas stations are not really a good place for charging.

The cool thing about charging stations is that you can put them almost anywhere there's already some parking. They don't need huge underground tanks, or space for tanker trunks to make deliveries, or even really a lot of space for cars to maneuver around. On the other hand, for road trips they do need to be a place you'd want to spend 30 minutes or so, which means you want better shopping and entertainment than the average gas station store can offer. So some place like a mall or big box store is going to be a better place than a gas station.

Exactly. Add that people are supposed to be buying stocks and not allowing the brokers to lend them out to shorts (squeezing supply further).
The Wall Street doesn't make money on direct bets, but on option spreads, commissions, margin rates, order flow etc. So they must love Robinhood and WSB ... the more excited the retail dummies are - the better, in the end the house always wins.
> when price of flowers goes up prior to Valentine's day, that's inflation?

No. Inflation is a "a general rise in the price level in an economy over a period of time" [1]. A single product pricing up is not a "general rise," and a temporary spike before Valentine's Day isn't "over a period of time."

I've been disappointed at how SWR and react-query seem to only support the bare minimum for mutations. As far as I can tell, they don't offer any kind of protection from refreshes overwriting any local mutations that haven't been saved to the server yet. They don't do any handling around updating the data on the server, so you need to handle issues yourself like retrying, deciding when to send to the server, and making sure you never have overlapping update requests racing each other. I've had trouble finding any library in the React or general JS ecosystem that handles this stuff.
That doesn't matter if the panorama is stitched using the same projection as the lens (i.e. rectilinear panorama for a rectilinear lens, or a fisheye pano for a fisheye lens), because projection and field of view are the same, so the images are the same.

Note that professionally made panoramas are often made with more complicated and hand-tuned projections like Panini.
In much earlier stage of life, I did a stint of tech support for a well-known web hosting company. Basically to get the job, you needed to have a better-than-average knowledge Linux, Apache, and PHP. Because of the wide variety of questions and problems you would come across, you would fill in any gaps very, _very_ quickly. I got to work alongside many excellent people that I still touch base with occasionally to this day.

There were two groups that sometimes had it rough, though. From time to time, everyone gets the "fun" of picking up the call from a verbally abusive customer (who you can't just hang up on because of company policy) but I really felt bad for the women who had to deal with misogynist pricks. I never got a chance to hear both sides of the conversations but I could tell from the tone in their voices when they had to deal with one of these guys. Along the lines of, "No, I am the only one available right now, how I can I help?" "Sorry, my manager isn't around at the moment." That sort of thing.

One particularly egregious case was when some asshole kept calling in because he broke his site and wanted us to fix it. One woman kept picking up the call (by chance) and every time she tried to help him, he demanded to speak to someone else. After the 3rd or 4th time of this, she quit on the spot. My word of advice: If you're going to be sexist douchebag, at least have the courtesy to just hang up without saying anything instead of berating the human being on the other end for their crime of having a vagina.

The other group I felt bad for was those with non-US accents. Every so often, they would find themselves on a receiving end of an anti-outsourcing tirade from out of our customers. Even though they were sitting in a call center in the middle of a Midwest state.
There is an "overarching" standard now .. CCS and a couple of older standards .. J1772 and ChaDeMo .. but when Tesla was getting started making chargers, there was no critical mass around any standards so they ended up creating their own.
I think it's worth clarifying two things:

1) This excerpt is written from the POV of a snarky, troubled 17-year-old girl. Very different from the author himself saying these things.

2) I can excuse 14-year-old fangirls losing their minds over the Hunger Games and lashing out at anyone who criticizes it.

I can not excuse 35-year-old adults encouraging their huge following to harass the author and cheering on the idea of burning his books.
Am I correct in saying that if someone can forecast approximately when that will happen, they can short the stock and make money off of the mass selloff? Essentially putting the short sellers back where they started (in a sense)?

Thanks! Point taken.
If it's sincerely a new phenomenon perhaps you're right, but cynically this looks a lot like pump and dump and frankly that's been around forever.
I agree with your points but it should be noted for the second point: they are doing more than just saying a business is crappy. They are betting billions on that business being perceived negatively. In essence, they are throwing their weight behind suggesting that the financials of GameStop are poor. They are betting that the average investor will see those negative signals and that, on average, the stock will do poorly.

Ah, interesting. I guess it just got to be too much for them.

I just see a wake of losers all around from. Melvin's Hedge Fund? There are people and their portfolios behind that taking a hit.

Few people got in early and are seeing multiples in returns. Now they are on WSB "Now is the time to rebuy, GME to 1000$, GME to the moon!!!" because they needs loads of suckers to throw in late to keep propping the price up. But the later comers are going to lose their shirts.

The whole "Robin Hood" narrative is weird. Let's call a spade a spade; a few people are going to get rich at the expense of a lot of individuals over these shenanigans.

Also all car manufacturing has a carbon footprint. And yes Lithium needs to be mined. Also to note, a foreseeable future is mining can be done via electric as well.

ALSO while TODAY much of the charging can be from gas/coal plants generating electricity, when the infrastructure changes all EVs improve. Meanwhile ICE cars will ALWAYS use the same ol' fuel.
The people that are getting the highest praise in the subreddit are probably not in that group. We're seeing people investing $10^4 to $10^5 in GME.

If they are gambling their entire life savings away, then I guess they got lucky this time but I do hope they see this as the anomalous event that it is. I have invested a small amount into the WSB "portfolio" and have similar great returns. But given that I only do this with the "play" money in my portfolio, I'm not retiring because of it.

why do you need to have sudo? I'm perfectly fine without it. sudo is maybe useful in the case where others on the system don't need to know the a password to run as someone else (including root) but need to be able to do that anyway.
sudo seems to have gotten a big installation bases through ubuntu and everybody thinks it's normal now, but really for me it's not.
I would also just like to remind everyone that there are many video sites out there that aren’t explicitly porn sites (but do generally allow some level of porn) that are not YouTube. They also tend to have NSFW / scammy ads as those are the only advertisers willing to pay to advertise next to content that wouldn’t be acceptable on YT.

Making things more accessible rarely has a downside for folks who don't need it in my experience, and often has an upside. My favorite example is doorknobs - think of a round doorknob vs one with a lever.
People with broken/missing fingers/hands or fine motor impairments will have a much easier time opening a door with a simple lever vs gripping and turning a round doorknob, and so will a person with two fully intact hands who is also carrying groceries.

No it's not. Tesla uses a Tesla proprietary plug in USA, and now a CCS-Type2 combo in Europe, which is the standard.

Even though the plug is standard, you actually can't charge a non Tesla on a Tesla charger because the charger only accepts Tesla. Recently it has been possible to charge cars from other brands for free during a few days in Germany, some say it was a bug, some other say it was a trial.

Also unless it has changed recently, in the Tesla ecosystem the car is connected to internet and reporting the consumption to the paiement system, not the charger. This is not standard and Tesla would have to put some 4G/5G network equipment in their chargers if they have to support cars from other brands.

They may be required at some point in Europe.

The Nissan Leaf uses a Chademo plug which is another standard, more common in Japan and it's very unlikely to charge on a Tesla charger ever, unless someone hacks an adapter.
Besides that, they can still run gitlab on-prem (it's not that hard after all).

So it's not like gitlab is completely cutting people out of service.
DFV also has a YouTube channel called RoaringKitty [1]. It's pretty entertaining.

> Making your site accessible isn't just a good practice, in the US, it is the law

> Courts have rules that the ADA applies to web sites along with any other type of business

For a business like a coffee shop I'd imagine that accessibility is codified in law through things like building regulations (ie, you must have n disabled parking spots per square foot, a disabled toilet, etc)

Is there an equivalent legally codified and enforceable standard for the web?
This is not true. Tesla destination chargers [1] will charge non-Tesla vehicles with an adapter. I have this adapter [2], and my friend's Bolt charges from my home charger (a high power wall charger on a 100A circuit) when he's over for beers.

It is true that the V3 version of the Tesla destination charger (which is relatively new), which has a microcontroller/wifi/etc, has a config flag you can set to only charge Tesla vehicles and can whitelist by VIN, but it's still in the very early stage of release.

@vel0city: In response to your deleted reply to this comment, if legacy automakers want access to Tesla's supercharging network for their own EVs, they should be prepared to contribute towards the enormous capex costs Tesla incurred as well as the ongoing operational expenses. Otherwise, legacy automakers who made no material effort to transition to EVs are free riding off of Tesla's hard work to build the network they now desperately need to remain in business.

Hm, the US tend to have "home" defined as a stand along house with a garage/land plot, which makes it possible to have a charger at home.

In most of the world city people live in flats/apartments, where you can't really do that.

So i don't see how you can avoid "gas station on every corner" model.
There is nothing positive in it.

90% of those redditors (maybe 99%) will loose a lot of money.

Sure some Wall Street hedge funds are loosing a ton of money, but most of this money is just going to other hedge funds, that were on the other side of the trade.

The stock will go back to around 10$ when this is all over (soon) - and only a few redditors will be able to actually realize their gains.

That being said, I like this situation. It's a gentle reminder that the stock market is a risky and (way too) complex thing.

To be credible does not require infallibility. The broader social consequence of the general public losing faith in science is not that they will suddenly become enlightened in the nuances of the scientific discovery process -- it is that they will turn to alternative sources of truth. Science isn't a perfect source of truth but it is a heck of a lot better than seeking truth through mythology, tribalism and the opinions of ideologues. Scientific literacy is the ideal state, but the world is not that.
Guide to the Information Superhighway
Both of the other answers are incomplete:

In Europe, where there is only one DCFC standard, Tesla uses a standard connector but only allows Tesla cars to charge at superchargers (there is no way for drivers of other cars to pay or be billed for use of the station).

In the USA, where both CCS and Chademo are standards, Tesla uses their own proprietary connector (which is substantially more ergonomic than either CCS or Chademo). Tesla sells a Chademo adapter and a third party sells a CCS adapter, so Tesla cars can use third-party DCFC stations.

In both cases, only Tesla cars can use Tesla Superchargers.

Huh? Inflation is very real. The dollars I saved from 20 years ago buy a lot less across the consumer spectrum. Prices don't go up, the money's purchasing power goes down. That is not a "boogeyman", it's theft by the inflation tax.
